+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B evdev 
+is an __xservername__ input driver for Linux\'s generic event devices.  It
+therefore supports all input devices that the kernel knows about, including
+most mice and keyboards.
+.PP
+The 
+.B evdev
+driver can serve as both a pointer and a keyboard input device, and may be
+used as both the core keyboard and the core pointer.  Multiple input devices
+are supported by multiple instances of this driver, with one Load
+directive for evdev in the Module section of your __xconfigfile__ for each
+input device that will use this driver.
+.PP
+.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
+In general, any input device that the kernel has a driver for can be accessed
+through the 
+.B evdev
+driver.  See the Linux kernel documentation for a complete list.
+.PP
+.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
+Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
+details and for options that can be used with all input drivers.  This
+section only covers configuration details specific to this driver.
+.PP
+The following driver 
+.B Options
+are supported:
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDevice\*q \*q" string \*q
+Specifies the device through which the device can be accessed.  This will 
+generally be of the form \*q/dev/input/eventX\*q, where X is some integer.
+The mapping from device node to hardware is system-dependent.  This option is
+mandatory, and there is no default setting.
